Women’s recruit: Agnes Irwin’s Keating is happy to follow her brothers to Duke

Agnes Irwin School senior midfielder Caroline Keating will follow her two older brothers to Duke University after signing a letter of intent to play next year with the Blue Devils.

Keating’s brothers, Dan and Mike, both All-State players at Episcopal Academy, played at Duke in the 1990s.

“I know they had such great experiences there,” said Keating. “I thought it would be cool to follow them there. Plus, I have a great relationship with (Duke) coach (Kerstin) Kimmel (a Haverford High graduate).

“When I went there for my unofficial and then my official visits, it struck me how close the team is. I already know (Baldwin grad) Emma Hamm and (Merion Mercy grad) Taylor Fleming. I really liked the incoming class that signed before me.”
